Feeling close to God brings healing

Leticia Gutierrez Duran

Reading the book Science and Health has brought healing into my life in so many ways.

After giving birth to my second son, I started experiencing back pain. If I worked even for just an hour, I would have to lie down and rest. In an effort to be free of the pain, I started to read Science and Health each day. I felt sure it would help me in this case, because the ideas in this book had helped and healed me many times before. Two statements were particularly helpful: "As a drop of water is one with the ocean, a ray of light one with the sun, even so God and man, Father and son, are one in being" (p. 361); and "... like a ray of light which comes from the sun, man, the outcome of God, reflects God" (p. 250).
